DocTime is a role-based, multi-panel doctor appointment booking platform supporting users, doctors, and administrators, built with the MERN stack.

What is DocTime?

DocTime is a full-stack appointment management platform designed for the healthcare sector, supporting role-based access control (RBAC) across three distinct panels: user, doctor, and admin. With dedicated interfaces and functionalities for each role, DocTime enables seamless patient-doctor interaction, streamlined appointment scheduling, and centralized administrative oversight.

Feature Preview


System Features

  1. Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)
    Every route and interface is protected according to user role, ensuring secure and context-appropriate access.

  2. Separation of Concerns via Multi-Panel Design
    Individual frontends for users and admins enable clean separation of concerns, improving both scalability and maintainability.

  3. Dynamic Doctor Search and Booking
    Users can filter doctors by specialization and availability, then seamlessly book appointments with real-time updates.

  4. Doctor Availability Management
    Doctors can define their schedules, block off times, and manage consultations directly from their dashboards.

  5. Administrative Control and Analytics
    Admins can approve doctors, track global appointments, manage specializations, and access platform-wide metrics.

  6. Cloud Integration for Media Storage
    Profile and certification uploads are stored securely using Cloudinary, with Multer handling upload processing.

Technology Stack

Frontend

  • React.js – Component-based user interface
  • Vite – Lightning-fast build tool and development server
  • CSS3 – Modular styling and UI responsiveness
  • Context API – Lightweight state management

Backend

  • Node.js – Asynchronous runtime for scalable server logic
  • Express.js – RESTful API routing and middleware management
  • MongoDB with Mongoose – NoSQL database schema design

Supporting Libraries and Services

  • Cloudinary – Cloud-hosted image storage and CDN
  • Multer – Middleware for handling file uploads
  • JWT (JSON Web Tokens) – Secure token-based authentication
  • bcrypt – Password hashing for credential security

Authentication and Access Control

DocTime implements a secure authentication and authorization flow:

  • JWT-based authentication ensures tokenized access for all user types.
  • Middleware enforces access control policies based on assigned roles.
  • Sensitive routes are protected using scoped route guards to prevent unauthorized data access or manipulation.

Each user role operates on an isolated interface and API layer, minimizing risk and maintaining a coherent permission boundary.

Contribution

DocTime is open to community contributions. Developers can extend functionality across any panel, improve RBAC workflows, integrate payment systems, or enhance analytics.
